2 predictions · 1 assertion · 1 insight · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertion are the 3 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 1 is resolved, 1 is not yet assessed, and 1 names no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

Insight
Cook: Open source rules production, while closed models dominate discovery
“Jesse's explanation, I think, is the correct one, which is that open source is good for production grade, like production scale workflows. Yet we're so early in this AI journey that there's not that many production grade workflows. And so if you are trying to …”
